You can rock a sweet crochet style inspired by your favorite TV show with the Ophelia Round Bag! This crochet purse is the perfect balance between colorful and reserved. The strap is built in to the body of the bag so it is very sturdy.

MATERIALS:
Worsted #4 Weight Yarn (I used Lily Sugar ‘n’ Cream in Black, Cascade Yarns Pacific in White, and Premier Home Cotton in Rainbow)
4 mm Crochet Hook
Stitch Markers
Note: Scrap yarn is a great substitute for the rainbow yarn. You can join different colors of scrap yarn into a ball or a cake before you begin. I recommend using the magic knot or the russian join method to connect your scraps together.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
11x11 inches not including strap (28 x 28 cm)

ABBREVIATIONS - US Terminology
ch = chain, st = stitch, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet
